I suppose it wouldn't hurt to let approved players come up with their own lyrics once they lyrics themselves are approved.
Since it would probably be a major investment time-wise for a coder, I don't see it happening. The number of people who would be allowed to have this feature and who would actually write quality lyrics and take advantage of it is probably a very low number. It also really doesn't work well with repertoires.
My idea:
Make a imm-given edge for bards that gives them an improved version of the old music command. Basically, bards could pick a repertoire and a class of affect and then provide the lyrics (including the ability to parse newlines). So for example:
Syntax: music <repertoire> <type> <lyrics>
Where type is something like a druid herb type or spell type, like offensive, defensive, curative, etc.
So you might do:
music romantic utility 'Never gonna give you up,\nNever gonna let you down,\nNever gonna run around and desert you!'
It would then pick a random affect sort of like damnation, the strength of which depends on the repertoire and instrument being used.
Basically, it's a controlled version of chromatic fire with lyrics. The affects would be minimal and generic (so that they kinda/sorta make sense with the lyrics).
